MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Jim Doyle plans to meet with employees and company leaders at Mercury Marine in Fond du Lac.

The governor's office says the purpose of his visit Friday is to thank the community, the company and others for working to keep the boat engine manufacturer in Wisconsin.

Mercury Marine agreed in September to keep its Fond du Lac plant open after workers there agreed to a series of concessions. Workers from a plant in Oklahoma will be moved to Wisconsin within two years.

Doyle says Mercury Marine is a great Wisconsin company and source of pride for the state.

Mercury Marine president Mark Schwabero will be at the event.
